Outrage on American Missionaries.

Boston, Aug. 26.-Rev. Edward E. Doane. the
missionary of the American Board at Ponape, in
the Caroline islands, who arrested some
three or four weeks ago and imprisoned by the
Spanish authorities the pretext that he had
melted the natives to disloyalty TO their Govern
or. has been released. This intelligence has just
been received by Rev. DIR. Judson Smith, the
foreign secretary of the foreign board. 1t is
thought that all is not well yet with Mr.. Doane.
His associates fear this is gloomy prospect for
their mission. Spain will ignore their rights,
they saw and send away the scholars and in
this way break the missions. The Governor
examined the deed of land conveyed Mr..
Doane by the chiefs and afterward produced
three out of four of the sgners witnesses to
the deed. who that they had not signed
that the land had not been given to Mr.
Doane. At Ponape the Governor had begun
grading a road around the island. forcing the ma
tves to work like slaves. Commenting on this,
Mr. Smith said the American government may
find it necessary to send one of ships to
the Caroline islands to protect the interests of
our citizens. The United States could not
afford have this outrage perpetrated on
American missionaries.

QUIETLY PASSED INTO NEW HANDS.
How $4,000 Was Made in Buying Up the
Franklin Fire Insurance Comnany's Stock.

The old reliable, steady-going Franklin Fire
Insurance Company of this city has quietly
passed into hands. Several months ago
agents in very unobtrusive way began TO buy
up the stock which has always been almost en-
trely held in Indianapolis. The company old
fashioned and slow in it's methods, had not been
paying dividends, but had accumulated a net
surplus The stock was found by the operators
who wanted to get it to be above par and they
went on quietly buying up the stock as they
could get it, paying from fifty to one hundred
cents on the dollar, and last month they had
almost the entire capital stock of $4,000.
At the recent annual meeting the stockholders
woke up and saw the following officers put In
charge of affairs: President, John Wocher; Sec
rotary, j. NJ. Newberger; special agent W. Ell.
Fulton. Mr. Newberger is from LaPorte, but
will hereafter make his home in this city. He
is old insurance man and believes.
as do all the new officers and stock
holders. that the Franklin is the
1t needs is new life and energy put into it. The
purchasers have made shrewd operation. hav-
ing bought stock worth more than $3.50 900 for
about $1I5 0OO Some of those who sold their
stock do not feel kindly toward the late officers
and think that they should have been kept
posted as TO the value of the stock. AS they
now look at it they think 5000 900 would have
been low price for the stock.
The last monthly statement of the company
shows the value of this eleeping bonanza. There
was net surplus of $50. 600 cash on hand and in
bank The real estate put in at only
SAL. 900, which included the Circle-street block.
The total assets were 1922, Cos. Oh and there
no unpaid losses. The total liabilities includ-
ing the $780, 900 stock, were only 5000, 900.
James E. Robertson, the former president is
understood to have sold his 80 900 of stock at
80 cents on the dollar. W. J. Holiday and John
W. Murphy early the year accepted rs cents
the dollar for So, 500. The trustee of the
Ricketts, estate sold $I0.0 at 65 cents. John
G. Shoemaker sold his $40, 900 par. One of
the old stockholders. j. L. Bradley, who held
Sc, 900, did not sell and considers his stock now
considerably above par.
The story went abroad that the new company
would re-insure the risks and close out business
in the interest Of some other 1nsura nce company
which would, 1t is said, enable them to divide q
profit of about $75. 900 their recent invest
ment The purchasers. however, say they have
no idea of doing anything of the kind. They
propose to continue in business.

We have interviewed quite a number of our sub
stantial citizens, thrifty lab0ring men, traders
and others and find them generally opposed to a
cbange IN the laws in regard TO the so called inn
prisonment for debt and the trustee process. Our
traders say that If those laws are repealed they
SHAH feel obliged to refuse giving credit to some
IN whose honesty to pay bill where there would
be no legal obligation imposed upon them they
have legal oblisstion; that as the laws are now,
with nearly all the visible property of the debtor
exempt from attachment, their annual losses
sweep away large share OF their profits; and II
iney are 70 be deprived OF all means of coercing
qeptor VINO shows no disposition to pay, they will
be compelled to adopt new method of doing
business, which viii be burdensome and disagree
able to themselves, while it cannot prove of any
advantage to those for those benefit this change
Is prOposed.-Belfast Age.
Here is confirmation of what the PRESS
said the other day that great many of the
debts collected by the Imprisonment statute
could never have been contracted but for the
existence of that statute. If that is re-
pealed the Belfast traders say they will be
compelled to adopt a new method of doing
business. Very well. If they have been in
the habit Of trusting men so dishonest that
nothing but the vision of a dungeon cell will
impel them to pay their honest debts, it is
high time they did adopt adifferent meth
cd of doing business. The new method
would of course compel men who are accus-
toned to repudiate their debts to pay cash.
1t is hard to see why this should prove bur-
densome to the dealer. On the contrary it
would seem that it must greatly tighten his
burden. And instead Of proving of no ad-
vantage to the dishonest debtor it would be
Of great benefit 1t would tend to teach him
that honesty is the best policy and, perhaps
gradually transform him into an honest man.
The chief sufferers from the repeal Of this
statute would be not the trader nor his GUS
toners, but the small pettifogging lawyers
whose disappearance from society would
leave void that nobody would want to fill.
